    The likely incoming 750w limit

    ….but really, who follows the law? I see people turn against a red. Talking on their phone while driving. Yes, they are on speakerphone and holding the phone at their face. People blocking intersections and driveways. God forbid there is a 4way stop. No one knows how those work. What?!? “A...

    The likely incoming 750w limit

    WORD! My bike can peak at 1250 watts, though I rarely go over 20mph. I only go faster when I have to merge with traffic to dodge a garbage can, road closure sign, or the occasional delivery truck. I also have front and rear blinkers to help drivers identify which way I’m heading. I also use...

    The likely incoming 750w limit

    Limiting bike speed seems like it would make more sense than a power limit. Imagine if cars had a power limit, instead of a speed limit.

    The likely incoming 750w limit

    I see the same thing. Saw one kid get in to an argument when he clipped a stopped car. Kids like this are the reason for laws like this. If they were even the slightest bit conscious of their actions we would be ok, but they don’t give a F and the parents are all like, “my kid would never do...

    ridstar Q 20

    Most would change the controller and display. Ideally, you’d want to buy them as a kit to ensure that they will be compatible with one another. That bike uses JST connections, so be sure to get a controller that has those. Be prepared to splice some wires since there are no plug and play kits...

    choose bicycle performance?

    If you can find another place/way to rent bikes, you can go with someone and rent 2 different bikes. Then you can swap during a ride and see what you like/don’t like about each one. If you have hills, then you’ll want to look at torque rating. Usually in Newton Meters (Nm), 60-70 is pretty...

    With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

    The $85 USD torque sensor I was looking at is now $250. I should’ve bought it earlier. Thanks little buddy.

    How Often Do You Replace Your E-Bike Battery?

    I’ve had my 2021 Ride1Up 700 for almost 4 years now. I usually charge to near 100% (54.3v). I never let the battery rest for long like that. I ride the next day. If I have to charge after Fridays commute home, I’ll charge Sunday afternoon. I don’t ride fast. I charge when I see about 50 volts...

    Rivian spins out a new micromobility startup called Also with $105M from Eclipse

    I agree when Behl said “If you look at our cities, the infrastructure is such that you can’t have large cars driving around, but they still have mobility needs. We need something different, something smaller, something more flexible.” I was in a parking garage in SF and there was a CyberTruck...

    No manual for Shogun eMetro

    First off, congratulations on the new addition. There can be a few reasons why the chainring would fall off. Does the chain fall off when in the highest, or lowest, gear? That would mean you’d have to index the gears. Here is a great video explaining the process. Could also be a bent...

    Larger chainring for Radster Trail?

    I’m picturing this. It sounds like if the chainring is too large/tall then, the angle from the top of the low gear to the top of the chain ring changes upward. This would mean that there are less teeth engaged on the lower gears. It shouldn’t matter much on the lower part of the smallest cog...

    Helmet Safety Protection Ratings

    I’ve been seeing these helmets lately.

    Helmet Safety Protection Ratings

    You should explain the extra weight and wind resistance they can cut by leaving the helmet at home. Roadies like that s4it.

    Helmet Safety Protection Ratings

    “Fashion for head only?” You mean, I can’t wear this as a shoe? Should be fine….if I don’t crash, right?

    My modified van bike holders

    I notice something similar on another site. If your photo is too large, take a screenshot of the photo instead. The screen shot is usually smaller in size. It may not always work.

    REDUCE AIR PRESSURE WITH TANNUS INSERT!

    I forget where I saw it. There is a chart that shows what size tube you should get for what size tire you have. The Tannus armor pack I got came with smaller tubes. Therefore, I had to reduce tire pressure. 35 PSI without and 25PSI with the armor. I’ve also read about the armor going “flat”...
